There's nothing fabricated about it. When people read, they do not, as you
might think, look at individual letters. They recognize words by their
shape, only falling back on individual letters when they fail to recognize
the shape of a word. When you use block capitals, because capital letters
lack the ascenders and descenders of lowercase letters, words lose their
characteristic shape, and become harder to read.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
